What DVD / Video did you watch last night? (pt2)

[jeff_leigh]

Dodgeball - Not as funny as I expected

 

[foo]

the Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.

wanted to like this but couldn't even get to the end. really could'nt care less about the story or the characters, and i usually like Wes Anderson's films..

 

[Ranbay]

I loved that film so much... shame you didnt like it..

 

[jeff_leigh]

Teenage Hooker - Korean movie that probably wanted to be a kind of cross between Terminator and La Femme Nikita with a bit a Robocop thrown in a weird Takashi Miike (Japanese I know) Style

 

[The Octagon]

It's finally started, I've joined the collective mind -

Season 1, Episode 1 of The Wire - Had to put the subtitles on for my girlfriend after 5 mins! Enjoyable enough, looking forward to seeing how it goes.

 

[foo]

ooh enjoy! i'm on Season 2 now.

i know i'm always late everyone's already 'over it' by the time i get around to watching things...

i'm gripped anyway. it's bloody marvellous!

 

[Strumpet]

Saw Batman last night. Enjoyed. Heath Ledger was goood

 

[DexterTCN]

It's finally started, I've joined the collective mind -

Season 1, Episode 1 of The Wire - Had to put the subtitles on for my girlfriend after 5 mins! Enjoyable enough, looking forward to seeing how it goes.

Me too!

 

[Grandma Death]

Taxi to the Dark Side. Very distressing.

 

[jeff_leigh]

Wanted - What a load of Bollocks

 

[El Jefe]

Wanted - What a load of Bollocks

good looking bollocks, but yeh - bollocks.

 

[Part 2]

Pineapple Express on the recommendation of my son. Fell asleep pissed, didn't seem as lolfunny as he made out.

 

[jeff_leigh]

Stardust - A lot of ppl gave this movie a bit of a slagging off but I quite enjoyed it

 

[mentalchik]

The Orphanage - I enjoyed it,the horde thought it was a bit boring.

No Country For Old Men - wicked, would not want that bloke turning up at my shop, the horde liked it a lot !

 

[Fedayn]

The Grey Zone

Understandably grim but not bad.

 

[jeff_leigh]

Hancock - Ok for a bit of Escapism

 

[Jon-of-arc]

The Beach - they really did fuck it up with Richard getting to shag the french bird, didn't they?

Apart from that, I suppose it was about average. Never had a hope in hell of living up to the book, but a half decent stab at the difficult translation from print to screen.

 

[El Jefe]

At about 6am this morning round Filter's house, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, which was actually not bad

Followed by a couple of episodes of that C4 series The Inbetweeners, which was pretty funny

 

[CharlieAddict]

Brooklyn Rules - watchable but there are better and pacier gangster movies out there.

 

[Ranbay]

how to lose friends and alienate people...

Was good i though, not amazing like but a good watch...

 

[Looby]

I watched The Notebook which I thought was lovely. It might be because I'm poorly and emotional but I sobbed lots.

 

[Part 2]

Watched Boy A last night.

Time well spent, although I thought the explanation of the relationship between the 'social worker' and his son was a bit thin so the jump from all being good and the falling apart was all a bit sudden.

 

[rollinder]

a whole chunk of The Transporter not that long ago

 

[corporate whore]

Diary Of A Lost Girl - top quality decadent-Berlin era morality tale with Louise Brooks, tragic queen of silent cinema.

 

[extra dry]

http://www.veoh.com/videos/v15880283FPKrNtWE

story about a family and the three gorges dam...very thought provoking and not really a good advert for the Chinese government...plus you did not find out about the Kitten....

 

[El Jefe]

Volver - one of Almodovar's best. Less hysterical than most, and brilliantly played.

Magnolia - amazing again. Perhaps too ambitious but it mostly worked and the level of acting, especially from Moore, is fantastic

 

[dada]

hellboy 2 -
liked the design of them creatures.
but the twins idea is old.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

Volver - one of Almodovar's best. Less hysterical than most, and brilliantly played.

Magnolia - amazing again. Perhaps too ambitious but it mostly worked and the level of acting, especially from Moore, is fantastic

Agreed on both points - has any film had a better (in it's time) cast than Magnolia? Perhaps the Godfather...?

Volver was my favourite film the year it came out - Cruz has never acted that good, or been that sexy.

 

[El Jefe]

Agreed on both points - has any film had a better (in it's time) cast than Magnolia? Perhaps the Godfather...?

yeh - there's barely a minor role in that which doesn't feature an excellent character actor.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

I had high hopes for hoffman based on that film, he has yet to live up to them..?
